The Moscow Affair

by Taylor Lee

  Nicki gasped and shot her father a glare that could burn through steel.

  She tossed her head, clinging to her pride, refusing to cave so easily. She looked away, trying to ignore Rafe; the twinkle in his eyes, his lean tall body, his cool elegance that masked a dangerously sexy man. Nicki felt herself weakening… but she had no intention of letting on. Not yet anyway.

  “What happens, Rafe, when I do something you don’t approve of? Or I get a little scratch or a cut? Then what? Will you leave me, disown me, for the disobedient creature that I am?”

  “No, I won’t leave you, Princess. And I won’t disown you. Those things I will never do again….But I may tie you up and keep you someplace safe for a few days. Or do things to you that your father should have done years ago.”

  Yuri glared at Rafe in mock dismay.

  “Watch it, Rafe. That’s my daughter you’re threatening. I’ll not permit—”

  Rafe broke in with a wicked grin. “Look, Yuri, you manage your daughter any way you wish. I’ll manage my wife the way she deserves.”

  Nicki tossed her head amused in spite of herself at the two alphas pretending to butt heads. Seeing the two people she cared for most in the world, like this, together and reconciled, just brought her too much private joy. Nicki let go her defenses.

  “Um. Before we discuss the marrying issue…About that tying up thing, Rafe? What…where…did you have in mind?”

  “Where would you like me to tie you, Princess?”

  “Hmm. Let me think. To our bed?”

  “That’d do for a start.”

  “Oh, goody!”

  He roared with laughter, as did Yuri. Rafe reached out and captured her in his arms, pulling her up on her toes so that his lips were inches away from hers.

  “May I take that to mean that you accept my proposal, Princess?”

  Nicki smiled up at him, blinking back her tears.

  . “Yes, Rafe. You may.”

  Afterword

  Thank you for reading The Moscow Affair: Book 1, The Dangerous Affairs Series. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much I enjoyed writing it. I love all my characters – their strengths as well as their weaknesses. Nicki was blessed AND cursed by the actions – long past – of the two most important men in her life. That the three of them found their peace was gratifying to me. And of course the best part was the seriously sizzling romance!

  While my story is fiction, unfortunately the International Human Trafficking Arena is active in every country on the face of the earth. Please pay attention. It is all too real. I do my best in my stories to call attention to the crimes of the International Sex Trade, but only if we work together can we hope to make a dent in this hideous reality of our times.

  If you enjoyed The Moscow Affair, do me a huge favor. Go to your favorite retailer and please leave an honest review. Authors live and die by their reviews. The few extra seconds it takes really helps us authors out.

  Thank you!

  P.S. This book and all my books have been edited and proofed by editors, proofreaders, and me. However, we are all human. If you spot a typo, please email me at taylorleewrites@gmail.com and we will fix it right away.
